Houston residents failed to pass Proposition 1, also know as Houston's Equal Rights Ordinance, or HERO, on Tuesday's election night. The bill would have extended discrimination protection laws to to people based on 15 classes of identity, including gender identity and sexual orientation.

After facing a lengthy, conservative-backed media battle claiming HERO would make it easier for sexual predators to target women in public restrooms, the bill lost by a landslide in the early voting portion of the election, with 65% voting to repeal the measure and only about 35% in support of it.

However, others across social media weren't as thrilled about HERO's failing. When news began circulating Tuesday night Houston would be removing the ordinance, Texans, progressives and most of the internet immediately began expressing their dismay.

What happened in Houston shows the power of scare tactics, and is a wake-up call to fight them with ever more craft, vigor and stamina

Some Houstonians decided to throw in the towel after Tuesday night and begin looking for other cities to move to:

I don't know why I thought #Houston would be decent enough to stand up for equal rights. Anyone want to suggest a better city? #HERO
